Which is the first state in India to establish the office of Lokayukta ?
Maharashtra
The Lokayukta is an anti-corruption ombudsman at the state level, recommended by the First Administrative Reforms Commission (1966) headed by Morarji Desai.
Maharashtra was the first state to establish the office of Lokayukta, under the Maharashtra Lokayukta and Upa-Lokayuktas Act, 1971, and the institution began functioning in 1972.
Odisha passed a law in 1970 but its Lokayukta did not come into existence until 1983, while Tamil Nadu and Kerala set up the institution much later, so they were not the first.
Maharashtra therefore holds the distinction of being the pioneer state in creating this office.
Hence, Maharashtra.
